They do say measured in present value dollars, so technically this isn’t inflation. But it is effectively interest. The idea that social security taxes should be a 0% interest bank account is absurd. Nobody would reasonably put their retirement savings in a 0% interest bank account, even one that is inflation protected, and expect to have a successful retirement. They also fudge the numbers by looking at the median retiree and not the average retiree. Social Security is a progressive payout system, meaning those who put in the most get the least back proportionally (it could be more harshly progressive IMO, but that is a separate conversation). Meaning that in a wealth-concentrated environment like ours, social security is effectively a transfer of wealth from the richest boomers to the other boomers, but Fortune pretends that isn’t happening and chalks it all up as a transfer of wealth from millennials to boomers, which is quite disingenuous

Yeah, call me a Russian bot for complaining that the Democratic party is not as democratic as I wish it was. You’re helping.

I’m sorry, let me correct my statement then. At no point did I have a vote in the selection of any of those democratic candidates, my rubber stamp vote for Biden did not select Kamala. There was no alternative for Spanberger, and my city just straight up cancelled their Dem primaries this year. There is a uncomfortably wide and long-running pattern of the field clearing for the party candidate before the question is put to the voters. But you got me on a technicality, I’m spouting misinformation

Every state had no democratic primary for president in 2024. Virginia had no Democratic primary for governor in 2025. Also had no democratic primary for senate in 2026. I’m sure you could narrow it down from there with a bit of research, but that’s as close as I feel comfortable coming to doxxing myself

Haha, jokes on you my state democratic party decided it knows best and didn’t bother to have a primary for any of my elected offices. Counting 2026, I haven’t had a primary to vote in for my last House election, my last US Senate election, my last Governor election, my last presidential election, my last school board election, or my last city council election. I feel soo represented

It was in his recent interview with Pod Save America

Looks kind of like one of the slices of meat that comes in the Aldi brand Gyro sandwich kit, but less appealing

Also the straits being useful for Iran is what is keeping them from mining it or at least keeping them from mining it in a substantial manner to make it impassible
